Some people might see this as a bit of a cheat because Bruford to some is Progessive Rock and to others Jazz-Fusion. I see them as a mix of Jazz and Progressive Rock which is a fusion of elements...Any way this is part of my Sunday Morning Jazz entertainment.

The recording starts a little rough due to the keyboards being so over powering but the soundman gets it under control quick the rest is a nice listening experience. That due to the remastering and speed correction done by Goody who is known for tinkering with shows and making them sound a lot better, this one is no exception.
